- Next Thursday is the last big test of electoral opinion ahead of the General Election with voters choosing over 100 councils across England, 10 metro mayors and the London Mayor, 37 Police and Crime Commissioners as well as a by-election in Blackpool South.
With the polls looking bad for the Conservatives the results will help determine the fate of Rishi Sunak and the date of the general election.

After fourteen years of chaos and ruination the Tories should be left with zero seats.
14 years - we have had nearly 50 years of it. Tony was a Tory in sheep's clothing, the times when the Tories sat in with Lib Dems was still Tory led really. The country has gone so far down the pan that there is nothing left to fix it with, the Tories spent it giving out jobs to friends and burning it.
Thats all very well, but question is who will deliver and turn the course of this country for the good? I hear Keir Starmer? think again, this time breathe
@@dennis8196 The Labour left purists are what gifted us May and Johnson.
As for 50 years of it, almost absolutely everything with a scintilla of government influence was far superior between 1997 and 2010, than what’s followed.
@@dominokid7996 So what's you suggestion? Don't vote at all and let the Tories continue destroying the country, or what?

The public is fed up and had enough.
Every party has to lose to be reminded of who elected them, and who they are meant to serve.
The Tories have clearly forgotten,,

Who are you going to vote for?
I said this about Labour after Blair and Iraq. Then when Labour controlled our local Council they purchased a shopping centre without checking the key tenant was leaving and it lost millions in value leaving local tax payers on the hook. Most of the units now unoccupied. Meanwhile a Tesco was allowed to be built in the middle of the town. Nail in the coffin for many other small retailers.

Dear Rishi, The Conservative's time in office is ending. It is time for you to migrate to Universal Credit. You will be required to attend an appointment at the Wellington Street Job Centre next Friday at 10.00am. Failure to attend will mean your claim will be closed. Please bring with you details of your accounts, bank statements for the last three months and your C.V. A Job Coach will advise you of paper rounds in your area. Regards the DWP

Time for him to migrate full stop. He’s not white and not English
"And after a year unemployed your benefits will be terminated"
If he does not attend he will be detained and deported to Rwanda.
hahahahahahaha good one mate! can we see the video of the interview?
Lose 500 seats? They should have ZERO SEATS!
they should be in cells with no seats
Let’s hope that is the case
I think they should have 1 seat! Then Sunak can seat on it and watch. Not being able to do or say anything.
400 would be a good figure lost. 600 Tory seats lost would be better. That is a lot less Tory activists obliged to campaign for them in the General Election.
Then Tories blame all poor services on Labour. Double edged sword.
@@Nemothewonderfish They're going to do that anyway. Literally day 1 the Tories, Sky News & all their supporters will be saying "Come on then! Fix all the problems now! If you increase taxes we're going to slam you & you better not blame the last 13 years. You're in charge now and you better fix everything otherwise Labour is responsible for everything".
@@Nemothewonderfish Don't they (try to) do that anyway?

Easily by the looks of it. He's used his time wisely for personal financial gain in other sectors at the expense of citizens.
To be fair Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss helped a lot with the ruin.
Because he has more money than he, or his next ten generations of descendants will ever need. Like most Tories, it's about the money, and the people can get screwed...
He doesn't live in that UK.
He can, he won't be prosecuted so he doesn't care, not even slightest penalty

When you repeatedly ignore the majority of the country this is guaranteed to happen

This is a vital year for us as there is likely to be a General Election at the end of 2024. We will also be contending local elections in England and the London Assembly election next May.
In the UK, the old political parties continue to work in lockstep together to allow perverse materials into classrooms for Relationships and Sexuality Education, permit open borders with unprecedented levels of both illegal and legal immigration, and make war on motorists with increasingly onerous restrictions on travel for ordinary citizens such as LTNs, 15-minute cities and the ULEZ.
The Heritage Party is the only UK-wide party that will end the climate emergency hoax and lift all restrictions on carbon dioxide emissions. We will ensure that people can continue to buy and use petrol and diesel cars and keep gas boilers in their homes. We will repeal regulations that require homes to have SMART meters and meet impossible new building emissions criteria, designed to force the abandonment of older buildings that are a precious part of our heritage.
We will introduce a Child Protection Bill to protect children from propaganda that attempts to confuse them with gender ideology or groom them into early sexual activity. We will also control our borders by pushing illegal boats back across the Channel and introducing strict caps on student and work visas while ensuring we train enough young British people to do the jobs that need to be done in this country. I Edward say that if anyone votes Lib/Lab/ Con or any other left wing parties they need their head examined. Heritage could, with your help make Britain great again. Anyone who votes labour or tory or any other left wing party need their head examined

Being a conservative and being a tory are two very different things. I want to conserve the English way of life so I am a conservative, I would never trust a tory to conserve anything other than their own greed.

Your still voting in the same parties over and over expecting different results. That's the definition of madness
My grandfather always said "It doesn't matter who you vote for, the lying politician in the sharp suit with the big house always wins"..

Like having to choose between dog turd and cat turd.
The fact it took people this long to finally realise
Cause they vote Tory through default without thinking. Labour is supposed to be the peoples party but Starmer acts like a Tory boy. we shall see what happens bit have no confidence in them as these politicians are mostly mates on the gravy train.
If Nobody in the country voted for any of these crooks im sure that would change our political system
His promises are worthless. What a charlatan.
Why did the graphic include Wales when the whole video was exclusively about England? Stop inferring that Wales is England when its not
I'm pretty sure they also said Eastern Europe.
I'm also pretty sure that Wales is even further West than England.
Also, what country in Eastern Europe was he in? I'm guessing Ukraine but why wouldn't they just say that?
Labour isn’t going to do anything better, if anything they will be worse. It’s like choosing between pest and cholera.
Do you have proof of that. Life was never this hard when labour was in power before?
@@alexandersmith5464 Probably because they spent money like it was going out of fashion. Thus damning us to several years of austerity to make up for it, while going through a recession. And you don't need "proof" for healthy scepticism of politicians. You're an idiot if you trust either side.

My local council has been Labour for as long as I care to remember and what they continually give the residents here is very high council tax bills (band E £2800) along with a poor services but will always remain in power due to people voting for who they would in a general election.

Reform……pass the message around…..move the 14% up above the 44% Labour time for a change.🏴
Cameron’s austerity caused over 300000 early deaths in the uk , austerity that was proven to be not needed and ideological….. plus the debt has trebled
doubled, labour left £900 Billion debt, tories slightly more than doubled it to £1,9 Trillion and the covid recovery fund loan takes us to £2.4 Trillion now.

The rail system needs to be nationalised in order to bring it up to basic working standards. The UK currently has the worst rail system in Europe, most of the time it does not work at all.
and is grotesquely overpriced. France just announced an offer where oyu can have an open ticket to travel the entire country for 1 month for like 35 quid. that would be about 25 grand here
If nationalised means government will have control over it, then my answer is, are u insane, they will make it even worse, wherever government put their fingers in, that doesn't last long, just look through history, whatever governments touched they destroyed.
How can they nationalise it, I thought China is communist country that steals and nationalise companies.
"The UK currently has the worst rail system in Europe." It looked it up and apparently not. I would've been surprised if it was worse than Moldova.
@@bobbymozza instead of looking it up walk down to your nearest train station you complete banana 😂😂😂
No difference between labour and conservative. Both vile
Not sure how you can describle losing 400 seats as "bad, but not disasterous." That would mean losing 41% of the seats they're defending. That's worse than they did last year and worse that May did at the 2019 locals. It would be their worst % loss since the 90's.
A 50.8% loss if you take your numbers from the pollsters who don't manifestly have an interest in downplaying the Tories' troubles.
So looking at the data, most of the country don’t want Labour .
In the past 20 years how many Prime Ministers were actually voted by the public? My first was Tony Blair, and he only won the election because Rupert Murdoch wanted him to
I can tell you for certain the North East wants Labour no matter what. They could come out and say they're going to sacrifice every firstborn and they'd still vote Labour because their grandad did.

@@ukbloke28red Tories led by a bloke who can’t even define a woman.
Should the Tories win a single seat , it would say a lot about the British public as we are all suffering due to their incompetence
You can get rid of a pile of shite with the Tories put to replace with another pile of shite with Labour is madness.
The choice is clear, you can be knifed in the front by Labour, or knifed in the back by the Tories.
You can at least defend yourself when you see it coming. I'm not sure this analogy is a good one.

Both by a "refugee".

Kicked out sunak from UK and send him to Rawanda ❤❤
Get rid of the whole corrupt system, and bring the government back to the local council's small conentrated local government for each borough, so we can manage resources better in every sense, do away with this global insanity. This is just for starters.
you really havent thought this thorugh hve you. the local councils already do have local authority? a lot of infrastructure and planning needs to be universal, you can't have little fiefdoms like medaeval times.
most authorities cant self finance enough to stay afloat. about 35 are due to go bankrupt due to tories cutting back funding. so how are they going to be autonomous?
@@ukbloke28 I think some people would be happy to have council tax bills in the 10,000 to 15,000 range... just as long as they don't have to pay it from their minimum wage job.. Why do renters have to pay council tax?.. they don't own the property so it's value has no relevance..
@@PaulaXism yeah id like to see it more like Scandinavia where services are extremely good, the place is well run and the population make big contributions to enable it. as it stands I resent every penny of tax I pay, knowing it will mostly end up in some tory's pocket, paying for banks to gamble etc.
council tax covers services etc. the services are used by the people who live in the property, not the landlord. is your landlord putting waste in your bins then?
@ukbloke28 If I explain exactly what I mean, I'd be writing an essay length explanation, and I have thought it through, carefully, and It wouldn't be as extreme as you imply, and it's not true that local authorities have nearly enough power and even if they did they are at the mercy of politicians in London with a obvious agenda, we need a hard reset and get back to basics because there seems to be no coherency in British politics, absolutely no transparency, things have spiralled out of control, this country is losing it's identity exponentially, much of what we are capable of doing has purposely been out sourced over seas, we have a common wealth that can provide everything we need if we are unable to produce it ourselves, you should know what I am trying to say, but it definitely isn't what you make it out to be.
@@letsallgetalong5499 Sounds like one of those conspirant rants where you throw everything that bothers you in one pot and then grossly oversimplify it.
You were clear enough. You think the solution is to decouple central governance and somehow regress to purely localised authority.
I pointed out the issues of finance - most areas are not self-sufficient and require funding from London and the fact that many issues inherently require global control across the country.
Instead of addressing those points, you are indulging in mass whataboutery. Ok so you seem to take issue with immigration (surprise). Why do you think your plan would change that? Why do you think it would bring investment to regenerate industry? how will our manufacturing compete with low costs in china? What about the encroachment of manual labour by automation?
I'll give you a couple clues. A - what you think is the solution is impossible. B - even if it were possible, it's never going to happen.
They’re all just so awful.
